How long therapy takes for trauma depends on the severity of your trauma symptoms.  For some clients, that means a few months. For other clients, it means a few years. When trying to figure out how long trauma therapy takes, it can be frustrating to hear “it depends” from every single therapist you talk to (but it’s true). In an attempt to not be super annoying, and just say, “it depends” (which it does). I have created some general estimates for how long therapy takes for PTSD and trauma.
